Pedagogical effectiveness of remote laboratories for measurement and control
No full textRemote laboratories for measurement and control represent an ever-growing field in the distance teaching of engineering graduates. They emerge as a valuable tool for teaching difficult matter, simulating complex theoretical models and performing remote real time experiments with often-expensive laboratory equipment. Pedagogical effectiveness of those laboratories has been a subject of discussion and surveys for quite a long time. Negative and positive results have been reported throughout the years, but constant improvements and innovations in the way the teaching material is delivered to students have greatly increased satisfaction amongst e-learners. In this article, the pedagogical effectiveness of distance education is reviewed, with a special focus on remote laboratories for measurement and control. Different theoretical approaches for teaching material presentation are discussed, as well as the assessment of the accomplished results.
